That's decades too early for something like that to be happening to a person… hope he has a full recovery.

Speaking as somebody who'd been there... *ouch*
Best wishes, and as few complications as possible...

He wasn't very helpful for vger ml users though when he was vger postmaster. With his "go away", "I don't have time", "I don't care", kind of attitude.
Great network maintainer and contributor.
Two sides of a mirror.

I hope he will be well.

David has also been running vger.kernel.org for years until lately. I hope he recovers soon.

I am not actively involved in Linux kernel networking anymore for about a decade now, but I always had great respect for davem back in the days while working in the netdev community. I always appreciated his down-to-earth style of running things, and the fact that despite the enormous contributions he has made to the kernel during decades (networking only being one part of it), he's never been looking for the spotlight.

We've never been particularly close, but still this news comes as a great shock to me. I feel so incredibly sorry he has to go throug that ordeal. A stroke in the mid-forties is clearly not the kind of diagnosis anyone expects.

I sincerely hope that David can recover as quickly as possible and to the furthest extent possible. My warmest thoughts to him, his family and anyone close to him. May he have all the strength he needs.
